HAIX®, the innovative manufacturer of protective footwear, has launched cutting-edge enhancements to one of its classic forestry boots, The Trekker Mountain 2.0. The changes to the boot have been designed to make the working lives of outdoor and forestry professionals easier, safer and more comfortable. The updated boot still features the trusted design elements of the original version, combined with new advances that offer wearers increased levels of protection and comfort.

The Trekker Mountain 2.0 maintains Class 1 Chainsaw Protection certification (fully compliant with the EN ISO 17249:2013 + AC:2014 safety standard), meaning operators can work confidently with chainsaws and cutting tools. Made from rugged, high-quality oiled nubuck leather, the Trekker Mountain 2.0 features a 4-layer GORE-TEX® membrane that keeps feet fully protected from the elements, while also allowing them to breathe - optimising foot comfort. The boot also features a new rolling eyelet lacing system, allowing smoother and quicker lacing, ensuring your boots stay firmly on your feet.
